Opportunities for Groups to Volunteer

Building a house together on the job site is a great way to build relationships within your group while helping to address the affordable housing crisis in our community.

Local Groups  Whether you’re a part of an academic, civic, corporate or faith-based organization, we’d love to partner with your team on the job site. We will be happy to work with you to schedule a rewarding day for your team.
